No way. These two parts are seperate. The 1st question is asking if you are going run the X server. The 2nd is related to the X sets which includes the X libraries. Many many packages are linked to the X libraries. Having to install the X libraries after the fact is an annoying stumble for most people. So this should not change at all.
